This week's show was songs from the past 11 years, any song, any genre. Great concept, should lead to great performances. The show though started off on a weird note as the eliminated singers from weeks' past came back and sang Pink's So What and I thought that was a fitting song and a different way to start. After that we got into the show...
Scotty
Song: Swingin
Blake: Awesome like always. He knows what he does best. Different pace for him but it really worked. Just it wasn't a great as always.
Rating (out of 5): ****
Mandy: Scotty, Scotty, Scotty. Not your best at all. You can entertain me with the phone book, but what about the rest of America?
James
Song: Uprising
Blake: Didn't expect the marching band. I actually didn't know there we actual words to this song before tonight. Personally I liked it. It was very rockeresce and he hit all the right notes.
Rating (out of 5): ****1/2
Mandy: James, you are way too big for your britches. And apparently since Adam didn't win, they brought forth his secondcoming. Ick.
Haley
Song: Rollin in the Deep
Blake: Really good. She rocked this song big time.She could sell this sound. Plus this is a really tough song to pull off.
Rating (out of 5): ****
Mandy: I LOVED Haley! She sang Adele and wore polka dots so two thumbs up. She did the song justice and I finally felt she belonged.
Jacob
Song: Dance with My Father
Blake: Holy shit! That was the most real performance ever on this show. I got total chills up and down my body. Amazing.
Rating (out of 5): *****
Mandy: Jacob was real for the first time, no theatrics. Gospel needs him. Sang the hell out of the song and pulled at heartstrings.
Casey
Song: Harder to Breathe
Blake: He totally rocked this out! Fantastic! More of this please! I can't anything but good things about this. I can't believe he kissed J-Lo!!
Rating (out of 5): *****
Mandy: Maroon 5 who? While they went all wussy and mainstream, Casey went and made their song better by singing it. A-friggin-mazing!
Stefano
Song: Closer
Blake: The ladies man is alive and well in this one. He can sing and that might been the dirtest dancing by a straight male on the Idol stage. Overall not the best or his best but great.
Rating (out of 5): ****1/2
Mandy: Stefano's song was meh. Can I just say I'd come closer and would attempt to break him (or at least a piece)? Karaoke eye candy.
Lauren
Song: Born to Fly
Blake: She's a little country bell. Very good. She is simply amazing to put it lightly.
Rating (out of 5): *****
Mandy: Lauren has the potential to be the next Taylor Swift, with a little more swagger. She rocked a song that really isn't great.
Should Go Home: Stefano
Will Go Home: Stefano
